SOME QUOTES ABOUT YOUTH

 

 

                   SOME QUOTES ABOUT YOUTH

By youth is meant young men and young women. The United  Nations , for statistical purposes, defines ‘youth’ as those persons between the ages 15 and 24 years, without prejudice to other definitions by Member States. This is not a satisfactory definition.   

Youth ends when middle age begins from around 45 to around 65 years.

          Youthful  persons are strong, tireless, brave, progressive, revolutionary, inventive, open-minded, friendly and affectionate. They continue to learn and update their knowledge and skills. They believe in social change, not  in status quo.

            Here are some inspiring quotes about youth.

            1. Youth is the opportunity to do something and to become somebody. ---T.T.Munger, American clergy (1830-1910)  

            2.  Youth is the season of hope, enterprise, energy, to a nation as well as an individual. ----W. R. William, American clergy (1804-85).

3. The strength and safety of a community consists in the virtue and intelligence of its youth, especially of its young men. ----J. Hawes, English divine (1838-1906).

            4. Keep true to the dreams of thy youth, ---Schiller, German poet (1759-18050).

            5. Youth is a continual intoxication; it is the fever of reason. ---Rochefoucauld, French courtier and moralist (1647-80).
